Kennedy emphasized that civil rights was a matter of morality and ethics and that it was everyone's responsibility.

On the day of his assassination, John F. Kennedy was not in Texas by chance. In deciding to attend a political event there in 1963, he knew he needed to pay special attention to the state if he wanted to win re-election. The motive: the bill introduced that year against racial discrimination that would alienate virtually the entire South of the country to the Democratic Party, whose electoral base was there. And Kennedy foresaw that. He did not see his Civil Rights Act passed, which occurred with his successor, Lyndon Johnson, on July 2, 1964. However, the initiative put an end to various racial segregation systems in the United States and one of the president's main legacies, albeit at a very high price for the Democratic Party.

In a paragraph, describe some of the characteristics of man and woman as they were originally created by God in Paradise.

Vinil7 [7]

Adam and Eve were created in the perfect image of God. Since everything that was created was perfect. Once sin had entered the universe everything in it was affected by it. God told Adam and Eve that they would die. They had no idea what death was. They obviously did not die right there on the spot, but even the cells in there bodies had started to deplete and deteriorate the moment they disobeyed God. I believe that the five senses of man, sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste were at one time one hundred percent, and now have deteriorated quite a bit since the beginning. Our minds capabilities were being used at 100 percent of its capacities. At the present scientists say we probably use only 2 percent. Our bodies were perfect and were designed never to die. One day they will be made new again, and being a child of God , I certainly cannot wait for that moment.
